La segunda parte es mucho mejor que la primera, el ritmo se acelera y aparecen personajes con los que no pensé que la historia se iba a meter, cosa que me encantó.
Volver a leer sobre el mundo de Harry después de haber pasado mi infancia y adolescencia obsesionada por la saga original es genial, más cuando se trata de una historia nueva.
Lo que más quiero ahora es poder ver alguna vez la obra en vivo.

Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy bond over their unfortunate names, talk out their daddy issues, and repeatedly rewrite history in a misguided attempt to save
SpoilerCedric Diggory.


Disappointing. I had not planned on reading this at all (having sworn off any more of the books after the disaster that was the Deathly Hallows' epilogue), but the mention of time travel caught my interest. Unfortunately, I can honestly say that I've read fanworks with better writing, characterization, and creativity than this. The plot was contrived (what kind of potions geniuses are these kids anyway?) and, if you think about it for more than a microsecond, somewhat disturbing (
SpoilerVoldemort and Bellatrix having a child, really?!
), and the characters who weren't forgotten (where was Teddy Lupin???) were flat mockeries of their canon selves. (
SpoilerRon as idiotic comedic relief? Also, would he ever give someone a love potion after what happened to him? I like to think not.
) The only bright point of the play was Scorpius Malfoy; adorable, optimistic, plucky, and loyal, he is almost worth reading the book for.

My recommendation? Read a quality fanfic instead.

Also, why is Moaning Myrtle's full name Myrtle Elizabeth Warren?! Would you name her Myrtle Theresa May? Myrtle Margaret Thatcher? I hope the writers simply don't know anything about U.S. politics, because I nearly just gave up there.

Wow! It's kind of complicated to write down a review about this book. Nevertheless, I'll try, and I hope it would be helpful for anyone who wants to know a bit about it. So let's cut to the chase!

"The scar has not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." Those were the last words in [b:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|136251|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7)|J.K. Rowling|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1370023538s/136251.jpg|2963218], and nine years later the scene is revived and continued.

Harry's and Ginny's son, Albus Severus, and Draco's son, Scorpius, go to Hogwarts and become very close. Like their parents, they get in trouble and don't realise how serious things are until it's too late.

On the one hand, Albus and Harry have a difficult father-son relationship; moreover, his life in Hogwarts hasn't been easy. On the other hand, Scorpius has to bear the burden of certain rumours about who his real father is. These facts lead them to do what they do ... don't worry, I won't tell anymore.

There are several (beloved) characters who reappear, though we don't get the chance to enjoy their presence for too long.

Regarding Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Draco, we see them now in a new facet. They are in their forties, and have raised their own families. They have to deal with their jobs and children's problems. Although, there is a thing that hasn't changed; they have maintained their friendship. Even Draco stays close to them.

I'd like to talk about the plot, but my mind is still whirling. It still has a bit of the essence of the previous Harry Potter books, but it's not enough. The story is fine, though I was hoping to see more of Harry and company. Anyway, it's good to have Harry Potter back!
